It'll be a six-week show for the eccentric big man. Yes, this is another one of the "it's the offseason" blurbs, but Kaman has been entertaining off the court for years. He won't be worth drafting in most leagues. Jul 29 - 6:38 PM

The Blazers opted not to waive Chris Kaman prior to Tuesday's deadline, which guarantees his $5 million salary for the 2015-16 season.

Kaman said in April that he hoped to return to Portland, saying that he'll help mentor Meyers Leonard despite being on the "downslope" of his career. Regardless of the Blazers' moves in free agency, Kaman won't get enough playing time to be a factor in fantasy leagues. Jun 30 - 6:53 PM

The Portland Trail Blazers are likely to exercise their team option on Chris Kaman for the 2015-16 regular season.

The Blazers are likely to wait until Tuesday's 2 PM deadline to exercise the option so that they can maintain flexibility to make a trade, but all indications are that they will pick up Kaman's $5 million player option. Kaman averaged 8.6 points and 6.5 rebounds in 74 games with the Blazers in 2014-15 so while he's not a standard league fantasy option, he can still make a dent in deeper leagues. Jun 30 - 11:57 AM

The Blazers have until the end of June to decide whether or not to pick up their team option on Chris Kaman's contract, and while he wants to return to Portland, he isn't concerned about his situation.

"Basically I’ll know June 30th," Kaman said. "Either they take it or they don’t. … Obviously there is a lot that is going to happen this summer in free agency with this team and all of our players." Kaman posted respectable averages of 8.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks during the regular season, but the Blazers could be forced to shake things up based on what LaMarcus Aldridge decides to do in free agency. Regardless of what happens, Kaman is better suited for a limited role off the bench at this point in his career, so he won't be on the fantasy radar leading into next season. May 9 - 9:14 AM

Gerald Henderson had a left hip debridement arthroscopy on Tuesday, and the Blazers expect him to be ready for training camp.

The 27-year-old Henderson had surgery on the same hip in 2011, reportedly because of a "congenital defect" in his hip, so this isn't an encouraging start to his Blazers career. He still projects as Portland's starting shooting guard on opening night and is a capable scorer, but contributes limited across-the-board stats and hasn't returned standard-league value since 2012-13. He's not a likely fantasy asset even if he holds off C.J. McCollum for the starting SG job all season.

The Blazers have informed Allen Crabbe (ankle) that they will guarantee his contract for the 2015-16 season.

Head coach Terry Stotts was pleased with Crabbe's performance during the summer league before he suffered the ankle injury, and Crabbe will now have the chance to try and crack the rotation next season. He averaged just 3.3 points and 1.4 boards in 13.4 minutes per game last season, so he is not someone who should be targeted in fantasy leagues.
